The early comers should meet up for lunch. Who's interested?

I'm in. What time sounds good? Trying to decide what time we need to leave PA to drive over the bridge. I haven't been to Zachary's in years!

By the way, I pm'd mommadeb about picking her up from the hotel and giving her a ride for lunch.

I don't know, near Miami maybe? I was looking online for the IH Chinese Cuvee, and there was one wine company, I was like oh cool, they're HQ is in Oakland. Then I saw their customer pickup location is in Medley Florida :P

It's the '04 (late-disgorged) that's close to $100. When it was still available from the winery, the more recent vintage wasn't nearly so expensive, IIRC. I don't know if you'd find that anywhere or not, since it doesn't even show on the winery website at all.
Or else I've got it totally wrong. I'm at school meeting with parents for 3 hours, but I'll look at what I have when I get home.

Always keep a bottle of Champagne in the fridge for special occasions. Sometimes the special occasion is that you've got a bottle of Champagne in the fridge. - Hester Browne
Filmmaker/winemaker Francis Ford Coppola says his two professions are almost the same and that each depends on source material and takes a lot of time to perfect.
The big difference: "Today's winemakers still worry about quality."

Although I believe that Mr. MDB is exchanging his early entry for one of CAgirl's regular entry tickets.

I don't think so. He was on my list, but you claimed his because you were available for early entry.

The last I birdie I heard from said that sales were currently a bit low compared to last year. Thinking there might be a discount deal closer to the event. IIRC last year they did a bogo starting the week prior to the event.

Edit: I've gotten one at each D&D (except for two years ago, when someone walked out with it!).

There's gonna be a big blowout eventually with them!

This time around we are going to check out Gather while we are in that neck of the woods. Zachary's was disappointing, but we didn't get to try their specialty.

We'll double back and meet up with folks before heading to DnD. Not sure yet how early we want to head over.

anyone else who might need to get in touch with me during d&d...please do the same

Yes, and sent mine.

What we may have to do is see what's there for the Auction, and discuss who wants what the most (as well as which ones might be split among two or more). It was fun in the past splitting with one (Loweeel & some VR PS set) and more than one (Pedroncelli PS with Cheron, Loweeel, and tenuki (and others?).

And I just know that PS is going to bid on the Justin Grace item (3 bottles: 1 organic, 1 sustainable, & 1 VDDD).
